    The problem is that accusing people of being trolls/paid actors is also a troll/paid actor tactic.

    then lemmy.world has a very sizeable troll/paid actor population

      I mean, that’s not wrong, but what I was getting at is that trolls specifically try to deflect by preemptively claiming others are trolls, so when they’re accused of trolling, it looks like he-said-she-said.

      Take that tool away from them by reporting them instead of responding. Or in other words… Don’t feed the trolls.
